Chapter 388 System, You've Changed
Golden light spread throughout the hall like mercury spilling onto the ground.
Hill was so excited that his rabbit ears trembled and his breathing became rapid.
The treasure chest lid was completely opened.
There was no divine artifact as imagined, nor any earth-shattering phenomenon.
After the light subsided, a palm-sized, exquisitely carved miniature model floated quietly in the center of the treasure chest.
"This is..." Lin Miao reached out and gently supported the model.
[System Notification: Congratulations to player "Lin Miao" for obtaining the legendary special mount - Supreme Guard!]
"A mount?" Chen You leaned closer.
He had been in the Origin Realm for so long and had seen many legendary items, but the design of this thing was truly unique.
"Lord Lin Miao, you can click on the item details; there's a holographic demonstration there," Hill reminded her from the side.
Lin Miao lightly touches the model with her fingertips.
"Buzz—"
A ripple spread through the air.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening suona horn suddenly rang out in the hall without warning.
The sound was extremely penetrating, carrying a chilling sense of celebration.
Accompanying the suona was a dense chorus of gongs and drums.
The holographic projection unfolded in mid-air.
In the scene, eight NPC men, each over two meters tall, dressed in bright red silk and with bulging muscles, are marching forward with synchronized, indifferent steps.
They carried an extremely luxurious sedan chair carried by eight men on their shoulders.
The sedan chair was inlaid with various luminous gemstones, making it dazzling.
At the very front of the procession were two NPCs who looked like servants, energetically banging on gongs.
The worst part is that there are two NPCs holding up a huge gold-plated banner.
The banner read in large characters: "VIP Members Have Arrived, Make Way!"
As the procession passed, a row of maids dressed in pink gauze dresses continuously scattered flower petals.
The entire scene exudes an extremely strong nouveau riche vibe and an indescribable sense of absurdity.
Chen You stared at the projection in mid-air and fell into a long silence.
He imagined the scene.
If it were in the wilderness or on the streets of the main city, Lin Miao would sit upright in that glowing sedan chair, carried by eight burly men.
Accompanied by deafening suona horns and an extremely arrogant banner parading through the streets...
This isn't cool, it's downright humiliating.
Lin Miao's face flushed red instantly, all the way to the roots of her neck.
She's not a social butterfly; she even feels uncomfortable speaking loudly.
Are you suggesting we let her go out in this thing?
"This...this is too conspicuous," Lin Miao stammered, trying to find an excuse. "Besides, if we encounter the enemy, it will be too easy to expose our position."
"It's more than just ostentatious." Chen You breathed a sigh of relief. "This is practically a scene that will make you die in social media."
He suddenly realized that his White Rabbit candy, with its rough and uncouth movements, was the epitome of understated luxury and sophistication.
At least White Rabbit candy won't play the suona or hang banners.
Lin Miao hurriedly shut down the holographic presentation and stuffed the miniature model into the deepest part of her backpack.
She secretly vowed that even if she ran herself ragged, she would never summon that thing.
Hill continued to praise diligently from the side: "Lord Lin Miao, this is a rare honor guard that only the chosen ones can obtain."
"If you travel in it, all the NPCs in Chuxin City will pay you the attention, which will greatly enhance your prestige."
"No need, thank you." Lin Miao's tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
Chen You couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lin Miao's tense expression.
"Alright, forget about that broken sedan chair." Chen You coughed and changed the subject.
"Members of the Supreme Pavilion get one free chance to win a prize every day. You're on a roll right now, your luck is off the charts, hurry up and try your luck today."
Lin Miao nodded.
Hill immediately understood and waved her hand.
The light in the center of the hall distorted, and a huge virtual turntable appeared.
The turntable is divided into areas of various colors.
"Just use your mind to click the button in the middle," Chen You instructed from the side.
Lin Miao did as instructed.
The turntable instantly transformed into a blurry blur of light and shadow, spinning rapidly.
A few seconds later, the speed of the turntable began to slow down.
The pointer swept across the green area, past the blue, and slowly glided across the purple.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of Chen You and Hill, the pointer came to a steady stop on the golden area.
"Ding!"
[System Notification: Congratulations to player "Lin Miao" for obtaining the Heavenly Rank reward—the Fashion Item "Guanghan Fairy Shadow"!]
The hall was once again filled with golden light.
A long dress radiating a faint glow appeared in Lin Miao's hands.
The skirt flowed like water, the fabric was neither silk nor not silk, and it was surrounded by faint ice crystal effects.
"Heavenly-level fashion?" Chen You's eyes widened.
Is it really that popular?
Lin Miao checked the attribute panel: "No attribute bonuses, but it has 30% ice resistance."
Chen You was jealous.
My own fashion sense is good for nothing except looking cool.
Moreover, I haven't gotten anything good in a draw for a while.
"I'll smoke too!" Chen You said, refusing to believe it.
He was, after all, a man with the title of "Master of Destiny" and a luck stat boost of 100 points.
There's no reason why someone's luck shouldn't be better than a newbie who just entered the game.
Hill respectfully turned on the turntable for Chen You.
Chen You rubbed his hands together, took a deep breath, and said, "Pay it!"
The turntable spun again.
Chen You stared intently at the pointer.
The speed has slowed down.
Beyond gold, beyond purple, beyond blue...
The pointer slowly came to a stop in the green area.
"bite."
[System Notification: Congratulations to player "Chen You" for obtaining the Mystic-grade material - Rusty Iron Mother.]
A dark, rusty lump of iron appeared out of nowhere and fell at Chen You's feet with a dull thud.
A deathly silence fell over the hall.
Lin Miao looked at the Heavenly Rank Fashion item in her hand, then at the broken iron lump on the ground.
She pursed her lips tightly, wanting to laugh but not daring to, her shoulders trembling from holding it in.
Hill maintained an impeccable professional smile, but his eyes were somewhat unfocused, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.
Chen You took a deep breath, lifted his foot, and kicked the metal lump on the ground into the corner.
"This damn turntable is cursed! It's specifically targeting me!" Chen You cursed.
He even wondered if it was because of Lin Miao's appearance that he was no longer favored by heaven.
He waved his hand, not wanting to stay in this sad place for even a second longer.
"Alright, you can familiarize yourself with the operations of the Supreme Pavilion here," Chen You instructed Lin Miao.
"If you have any questions, just ask Hill. She knows a lot. Buy whatever equipment and potions you need, don't skimp on them."
"Captain Chen, where are you going?" Lin Miao asked.
"Didn't that city guard just say that the city lord of Chuxin City was looking for me?" Chen You regained his serious expression.
"I'll go see what he's up to."
"The lord of a newbie village specifically sought out a high-level player like me. Something's definitely fishy about this."
"Do you need me to come along?" Lin Miao asked, somewhat worried.
"No need. Your current task is to quickly familiarize yourself with the rules of the Origin Realm and raise your level." Chen You waved his hand.
"I've added you as a friend. Message me if you need anything."
"I'm leaving now."
After giving his instructions, Chen You strode out of the Supreme Building.
The guards were still waiting at the door.
